Hi everyone, I am a new beekeeper of 3 years. I bought British standard brood boxes and now have decided that they are too small for my queens I have had over the years. Swarming has been a problem. I have looked at increasing capacity with doing double brood, brood and a half or using a Hamilton frame. Hamilton frame would mean commercial frames and additional costs. Is it feasible to add an eke under the brood box to increase length of frame foundation used? Would they think that’s great for more drone laying? I’m trying to solve congestion without spending a lot mor money on gear.
Any advice appreciated thank you
